File this under "S" for sleazy:Abortion opponents plan to return to Wichita this weekend to conduct a prayer vigil at the now-closed clinic where slain doctor George Tiller performed late-term abortions.While this might have been classified as kind but misguided- I'm guessing the family and friends of Dr. George Tiller won't want "pro-life" people praying for them or hosting vigils for them anywhere- but it took a repulsive turn when Rev. Patrick Mahoney said they'd be praying for an end of "violence both inside and outside" clinics.The prayer vigil and what is being called a memorial service at the former Women’s Health Care Services, 5107 E. Kellogg, will be held at noon on Saturday during a “prayer walk” extending the length of Kellogg through Wichita, organizers said in a prepared statement.
“As members of the pro-life and faith community, we are coming together for a time of prayer and remembrance,” said the Rev. Patrick Mahoney, director of the Christian Defense Coalition, which is based in Washington, D.C. “We will be praying for the Tiller family as well as asking God to bring healing to the city of Wichita.
“We will be asking God to end the violence both inside and outside of abortion clinics. Specifically, we will be praying that Wichita respects human rights and social justice and that no abortions would ever be performed in the city again."
Let the man and his family rest in peace- you all successfully got him killed, what more do you want to squeeze from him in support of your agenda?

As if the traffic wasn't a big enough clusterfuck on Kellogg already, now these asshats have to really kick the kitty.
They had no respect for Dr. Tiller, his family, or employees in life, why should they now? They have no respect for women, whether they want/have had an abortion or are trying to prevent pregnancy, why should they now? The funeral was a time to break, not stop. This will continue until all women are in the house having lots of babies. then they'll protest the one or two women who *gasp* have a job or aren't at church.
I hope this fails like most of their other attempts in Wichita have failed (revisiting the Summer of Mercy in 2001; O'Reilly wanting everyone here in 2005; a few others). But know what I really want? I want a provider in Wichita!
I completely agree with Carolyn...these people are anti-woman opportunists. Nothing more.
